Is this a Golden hen?

[Enjaytoo]

Good morning all....saw an ad on a classified ad this morning, and although I dont "need" another pair of Amhersts...well, you know

I dont want to post someone elses pictures, but can I post the link for the ad to see what anyone thinks of the hen? I say its a Golden hen (with an Amherst male) but wanted opinions...

Yikes, thats what I thought. I may have to get them just to separate them.

That is an awful steep price.And what is a faraon?

I know, pretty pricey for a mismatched "set". My thoughts are next year, someone selling "rare" eggs.....

Probably the name they were purchased under!!! I've seen listings for "Amazon Pheasants", "Goldhersts", "Rainbow", etc. All for Goldens or Amherst (or a combo of the two). Check out eBay during the spring, they come out of the wood work selling these "rare" bird eggs. Pretty sad.

this past weekend I was at an auction and though I had seen amherst golden hybrids there times before it was the first time I saw anyone try to name them. They were calling them goldhersts and had in parentheses "amazons". I agree, pretty sad when you think about it.
